Now I know why I gained!
I didn't realize how many calories Trail Mix was! I used to down that by the handfuls in nursing school... :noway: Now I realize how I had gained 12 pounds in less than 3 months!

Energy for the gym in the morning?
An average morning for me is getting up anywhere between 5:30 - 8am. (Time is up to me! :laugh: ) I don't have to be to class til 10:30am and my house, the gym, and class are within 10 mins of each other! I would LOVE to spend an hour in the morning working out. I'm awake 99% of the time and usually spend my morning…

The headache from hell!
I've had a headache since about 2pm. I've eaten, drank plenty of water, took a nap, and I haven't had caffeine for over two week so I know it's not caffeine related. I've also taken a hot shower, Ibuprofen, and my sinuses are clear. So why the hell do I have a headache?!?!?!?

Heehee...now I can't rant about him...
The other night I was ranting about my husbands snacking. Now he's asked me to set him up here! :laugh: At least now he won't be snacking on cheesy hot dogs all night! :drinker:
-
I am proud of myself!
One of my friends gave me a box of brownies and fudge! I've given the brownies to my husband (since he can eat anything and stay skinny :angry: ) and cut the fudge into 1/4's This way I can have some without breaking the bank! When I first got the box I wanted to just give it and eat it all "one bad day won't hurt, right?"…

Husband's snacking is going to kill me!
My husband is always been a snacker at night. I usually save about 100-200 calories and do something light while he breaks out the hotdogs, chili, cookies, pie etc. But I'm starting to want everything he eats...and even though I'm going for healthier options (veggies, fruit, cereal) I'm still wanting to snack all night!…
-
I dont wana...but I have to!
I don't want to work out tonight but I HAVE to! I REFUSE to go over my calories at all this week and well I was "starving" this afternoon so I ended up having a big lunch! :grumble: I can't use any calories as pick me ups...any other suggestions? I want to actually be able to work out and not just a zombie on the…
-
I'm glad...
The gym is only 5 mins away! I'm down to 15 calories left (after working out an earning 385!) and it's just now 4pm :laugh: I've got to go...I'm going to want a snack later!
-
routine before weigh in?
Do you have any routines the day before / morning of weighing in? (Other than going to the bathroom :laugh: ) I know I need to watch my salt intake the day before more than usual!
-
anyone else crazy like me?
I'm getting ready to go to the gym...and I told my husband "yeah, just let me get a shower first." He's so puzzled as to WHY would I take a shower before the gym :laugh: Honestly...I'm still sleeping! And I know if I don't take one I'm not going to have the energy to work out. Anyone else crazy like me and will take a…

:(
I decided to be honest and put the pound and a half (which is two pounds on my ticker :grumble: ) back! At least now I will be better at Christmas!
-
What else can I do?!?
I am CRAVING the last two piece of pizza (700 calories) I have worked out, had some pineapple, had some celery, drank a litter of water, and I'm STILL craving it with 5 calories left for today :grumble: Normally I would just go to bed...but I'm not even remotely tired! Any other suggestions? And no...I can't make my pizza…
-
I just noticed...
My ticker! My little star is almost to the top of the mountain! That's really how I feel too. I've been fighting with these two pounds (right now they are wining) for the last few weeks! So now my goal is within the next week (since all I need is a pound) is to get over that hump! Then hopefully it will feel like a…
-
breakfast ideas?
I HATE cereal! I'm so tired of eggs, egg sandwiches, omelets, and anything else that has egg in it! Pancakes are great...but not the most calorie friendly... so what else?
-
Left overs?
I tried to pawn my extra food yesterday (I did all the cooking for a few friends) off on people but it didn't work. I wouldn't be to worried except there is a LOT of mashed potatoes left and they are my favorite. I normally make mine "light" but these are full of fat! I don't think I'm going to get back on track til they…
-
Everyone survive?
I suprising had enough self control to not eat til I hurt! We had lunch around 2pm so we didn't plan on dinner...then again I had 4 pieces of pie (two brownie, two berry) for "dinner" :laugh: Over all, I know I went over and I'm more than ok with that for today...but I still felt like I did good!
-
tomorrow is a new day!
After a half of cinna bun's cinnamon roll, and a lunch and dinner of mash potatoes, green bean casserole, deviled eggs, turkey, and stuffing...I know I've already gone over my calories! At least now there is no more green bean casserole, deviled eggs, or stuffing! :laugh:
-
The best compliment!
My husband has been supportive of my weight lost since day one . (Even though he didn't think I needed to lose some). Well today I was cooking and all of a sudden I hear..."baby, you look REALLY good." The way he said it was different from any time he's said it for the last year or so. He told me he couldn't believe how…
-
I can't believe it!
I still have a few pounds to go...and the other day I was upset when I realized I wasn't going to make my Thanksgiving goal. BUT...this morning I tried on a belt I haven't been able to wear for a year now! And it fits! :noway: I don't "see" a difference...but my husband asked me why I never wore this belt and I showed him…
-
the last 10 pounds?
For the last 3 weeks the scale hasn't budged! (Well execpt for yesterday when I was so sick, but I know that weight isn't going to stay off). What's your trick/tips to losing that last 10 pounds?
-
that was the best pound yet!
I've lost another pound!!! The best part is...I haven't logged in my food for almost a week!!!! I was getting to obsessed with calories and wanted to see if I could make the right choices on my own...I'm so proud of myself. This proves to me I've made more of a lifestyle change than just "sticking to a diet"!!!!!

Bulimia...
I have struggled with bulimia since I was 12 (at least that's when I noticed it). It started with extreme exercising (4+ hours a day between volleyball practice and the gym after dinner!) then it went to diet pills, starvation for several days after a binge and back to extreme exercise. I can never remember a time I didn't…
-
I'm HEALTHY!
I finally hit a BMI of 24.9!!!!!!!!!!! :bigsmile: I haven't been this weight since over a year ago! Only 10 more pounds til my goal weight!
-
I'm taking a break...but not completely
When I first started this I was OBSESSED with counting calories. To the point it made me more hungry and hating it more and more. This last week I took off and ate everything because I binged out of guilt (guilt of not going to the gym, counting, etc). I think to the break chain I'm going to try for the next two weeks to…

Making Goals early....it backfired...help?
Originally I made a goal to lose 6 pounds by Nov 6. Then I bumped it up to Halloween because I lost the first couple pounds faster than I thought. (I was going by 1.5 pounds a week.) Ok, but I made that goal a week early! And then it happened...I fell off. I logged most of my calories, but not all. I only went to the gym…
-
What is the root of your binging?
For me its "happy times with people" Parties, get-together's, dinners out (with more people than just my husband), or going over to other people's houses for dinners are a nightmare for me! If I'm upset upset, or it's just the two of us I don't have near as much as a problem (I still do it sometimes but not so much…
-
what do you eat?
When your not hungry for breakfast? I've never been a breakfast fan but I've gotten into the habit of two scrabled eggs in the morning. Yet, right now the though of eggs makes me sick! I know I need to eat something...but I don't want anything! - ok this might have turned more into a rant :laugh:
-
I just realized!
I met my Halloween goal weight a WEEK early!!!! :drinker: :happy:
-
anyone else like this?
I weigh myself every couple of days (usually three days a week) well I've noticed I will stay the same for a couple days (down to the tenth of a pound!) and then the next day I drop a complete pound. I'll be the same for the next several days and over night I'll drop a complete pound again! I'm using the same scale, always…
